NUMBER 1

Start an argument with a shy person this will confuse them and get them wondering what they have done wrong. Because they are shy they will let you rant on about whatever you choose to argue about and they will apologise for something they did not do. Taking advantage of someones shy nature will boost your confidence and cheer you up no end. Afterwards of course say you are sorry and that you were only joking, this will make you happy and believe it or not you could actually make they shy person feel more confident about them selves.

NUMBER 2

Take something that doesn’t belong to you and make sure that they see you taking it. When they challenge you about it, fight your case that this belongs to you. Be it a jacket, coat, wallet or phone you choose, what ever you think would be appropriate for the mood you are in. After to-ing and fro~ing a bit give in and give it back and say that you didn’t even bring a jacket or what ever the case may be. As you walk away you will feel a lot happier in yourself and you will find yourself smiling for the rest of the day just thinking about it. Even the idea of looking at something and thinking of this you will smile.

NUMBER 3

Skip the Que and try and get away with it nine times out of ten you will succeed without an argument, you might get a few funny looks but, with your back to them they wont see you laughing. The other time you will meet resistance and an argument, be firm and try and convince them that you are with the person in front. Often tap the person in front and say “I am here with you am I not” the person in front will either say yes or no, to influence a yes out of them give them a sly wink. They couldn’t care less who is behind them because they are in front. More often than not they will say yes just to keep the situation from escalating out of control. Even if they say no you can still go to the back of the line laughing at your efforts and as a plus you can watch the faces of the people that you tried to skip as they walk out. See how much they are still pissed off at you and just laugh at them.

NUMBER 4

Confuse a complete stranger by telling them that you know them or know them from some where. Start naming pubs or places of interest that they may have been in the area. Tell them that they look familiar and you are sure that you saw them from some place. This will get them thinking of where they could have saw you they may say a location and then you pounce on it saying “Yeah that’s where it was” and proceed to ask them how have they been since. They will tell you everything they have been doing and where they are likely to be next. This will make you happy about yourself because you have improved your social skills and made a complete fool out of the person you are talking to.

NUMBER 5

Go into a shop and act completely ignorant about a thing you are looking for. Tell them that you have been sent here by someone else who purchased the same item in the store before. Never tell them the name of the object that is where the ignorance comes in, instead try and describe it to them… For instance a garden sheers describe the two handles and the twirly thing at the top and make up some lie about the use of the item like its for digging holes or pulling weeds. They will bring you different items off the shelves and will be mighty obliging to your requests. Then when you have had enough just ask them the name of the shop and tell them that you have come to the wrong place. As you get outside you will find that the guy is cursing you from a height for wasting his time. This will bring a smile to your face believe me I’ve done it.

NUMBER 6

Verbally abuse a teenager make sure they are sixteen or over, abusing anyone younger that this is just stooping low and is just too easy. Teenagers are a lot sharper and much faster at comebacks with better abuse plus this gives you a far better range of topics that you can use. This is more of a personal test if you can shut him or her up you have won and you will feel much better about yourself if you lose, you will still get a laugh out of the teenagers punch line and this will cheer you up… Remember though never take anything to heart when engaging abuse battles with teenagers because they will not hold back, and as soon as they see they are getting the better of you they will claim victory and just abuse you into the ground.

NUMBER 7

Engage a shop assistant with an item you would like to purchase, place it on the counter and when they ring it up tell them you have forgot your wallet. Pretend to search through your pockets for the wallet, because they have rang it through and probably need a supervisor to void it you might get it for a cheaper price. Say the item is $2 and you may have $1.50 in change in your pocket, wait for him to call the supervisor over. When the supervisor arrives at the register say “hang on I have some change here” they both will look at you, as you pull your hand from your pocket open it in clear view and proceed to count it. As you give them the result they would more likely than not give it to you for the $1.50 to save the hassle of taking it off the system. You escape with your wallet in tact and an item for less. This would cheer anybody up..

NUMBER 8

Forget about your personality concentrate on the others that surround you. You will find that there are people that are worse off than you, no matter how unhappy you feel remember that somewhere there is some one that is less happy than you. To do this you will have to go to a highly populated area to better your chances of finding that some one that is unhappier than you. Look around and pick out faults in people that pass you by. You will find yourself a lot happier than most out there. Try and figure out by looking at people what they are doing or what they have done, your amusement in you will come up with great funny stories that will cheer you up. Its not nice to laugh at others people misfortunes but its better to be not nice and be happy than to be polite and unhappy.. After all being nice is what got you in this mess in the first place.

NUMBER 9

Give somebody the wrong directions to a destination, as they drive off you will feel much better about yourself knowing that you have after sending somebody else off on a wild goose chase. Just make sure you give yourself enough time to get away from the scene if they are to return. They always come back to where they got the directions from. You can hide if you still feel unhappy, and wait for them to return and watch them ask somebody else. This works great with truck drivers delivering goods to a shop or pizza deliveries.

NUMBER 10

You could just snap out of it and realise that you just can’t be happy in the state of mind that you are in. That you are going to have to do something fun and exciting to lift your spirit. The key to happiness is just forget about what is dragging you down and focus on what makes you happy. Any one of these should do the trick.
